Chapter 61 - 61 Evil-making Nail
The tall Warrior Puppet was like a war god. It started a merciless massacre. These evil spirits that rushed out of the village died tragically one after another. All the evil spirits died with a single punch. No matter how strong they were, they could not withstand a punch from the Warrior Puppet.
This was not the first time Wang Luo and the others had seen this mysterious expert attack. However, they still felt extremely shocked. Especially when a terrifying and powerful five-mark evil spirit appeared among these evil spirits and was blasted apart by this mysterious expert with a punch, their minds were in turmoil!
“Why do I feel that… this Senior is even more powerful than yesterday!”
“It’s obvious that this Senior didn’t use his full strength yesterday.”
“Too strong! This is definitely the top existence among the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level. He even killed a five-mark evil spirit with a single punch! It’s too terrifying!!”
Xiao Shi also kept exclaiming with everyone. As someone who had witnessed this scene for the first time, he naturally had to show his excitement and shock. That was normal.
Under their exclamations, all the evil spirits in this village were slaughtered by the Warrior Puppet. Then, they saw the Warrior Puppet take out a cylinder. Waves of mist were released from the cylinder.
It enveloped the entire village.
After yesterday’s experience, Wang Luo and the others were no longer as nervous when facing the fog. However, they still had to be on guard.
“Stay where you are.” Wang Luo reminded everyone. He reminded Xiao Shi in particular.
Although they could not see each other under the cover of the fog, they were not far from each other. Once they encountered any situation, they would immediately band together.
Not long after, the fog dissipated. Just like yesterday, the mysterious expert disappeared with the fog. Only corpses were left on the ground.
“Another fruitful day!”
Wang Luo and the others beamed with joy.
They felt that they were too lucky to have met such an expert. Although there were not as many evil spirits in this village as the village yesterday, there was a five-mark evil spirit. Just this five-mark evil spirit alone was worth 700 contribution points!
They immediately began to collect the corpses of these evil spirits. However, just as they gathered the corpses of these evil spirits and prepared to leave the village, Xiao Shi suddenly noticed a pale hand appeared in the ruins of the house that had collapsed earlier. “Hmm?”
“Look…” He hurriedly reminded everyone.
Wang Luo and the others also looked over. They saw the hand that appeared from the ruins. They immediately leaned over. They dug out a corpse from the ruins.
It was the corpse of a middle-aged man. Although it had been dead for a period of time, the entire corpse was well preserved. There was a black nail on its forehead.
The moment he saw the black nail, Xiao Shi’s gaze turned cold. He thought of the hundreds of corpses in the Sandstorm Stronghold when he destroyed it that day.
Those corpses were the same as the current corpse. There was a black nail on his forehead!
“What is this?”
Yang Zhen and the others’ attention was also focused on the black nail on the corpse’s forehead. They could all see it. This was not an ordinary nail.
“I suspect that there might be more of these corpses here.” Xiao Shi said in a low voice.
Wang Luo nodded in agreement. “Let’s look around.” He suspected that these corpses might be related to evil spirits.
Everyone began to search the intermediate village.
As expected.
In the various houses in the village, there were some corpses like this. All the corpses had a black nail on their foreheads. This also made their expressions turn solemn.
“These corpses must be related to evil spirits. We have to bring these corpses back immediately.” Wang Luo said.
Their mission this time was not only to eliminate the surrounding evil spirits.
Similarly, they had to investigate the reason why evil spirits appeared frequently.
These corpses might be the key clue.
Immediately, they brought these corpses back to the camp.
According to the rules, they could only return to the camp after dawn. However, when the captain heard that they had made an important discovery, he immediately rushed over. The clues regarding the evil spirits were more important than killing these evil spirits.
Soon, the captain saw the many corpses Xiao Shi and the others had brought back. After seeing the black nails on the foreheads of these corpses, the captain’s narrowed eyes narrowed. “Evil-making Nail!”
He stared at the nails on the foreheads of the corpses. He recognized it at a glance. His expression was extremely ugly.
“Evil-making nails?”
Xiao Shi and the others were confused. They had never heard of such a thing.
“The Evil-making Nail is an extremely sinister tool. Its function is to turn corpses into evil spirits!” The captain explained in a low voice. “Evil spirits are usually formed from corpse souls after death, be it humans or beasts, as long as they are living beings, they can become evil spirits after death, but there’s a certain chance.
“As far as I know, whether one will become an evil spirit after death depends mainly on the undulations of the corpse soul at the time of death. The stronger the undulations of the corpse soul when it dies, the easier it will be to become an evil spirit.
“As for this kind of Evil-making Nail, after they are implanted into the corpse, they will continuously cause undulations in the corpse soul and turn the corpse into an evil spirit!
“These Evil-making Nails… usually come from those evil cult organizations. In the past, our Seven Star Province did not have any evil cult organizations. It seems that some evil cult organizations have secretly infiltrated our Seven Star Province now!”
The captain’s expression was solemn.
“This matter is very important. I need to go back and report to the director immediately. The information you brought back this time is very valuable. You did well! I’ll give you the corresponding contribution points as a reward later.”
After the captain finished speaking, he rushed back to Golden Cloud City that night with these corpses to report to the director.
“A cult organization…” Xiao Shi was deep in thought.
Through the information given by the captain, it was not difficult for him to deduce. The reason why evil spirits had been appearing frequently around Golden Cloud City recently was because there was a cult organization that kept using Evil-making Nails to create evil spirits here.
Especially when he thought of what he had discovered in the Sandstorm Stronghold.
He could predict that the evil cult had most likely infiltrated some factions around Golden Cloud City. While letting these factions collect corpses for them, they also used these factions as concealment to secretly help them create evil spirits.
Just the Senluo Organization alone was troublesome enough. Now, there was another cult that kept creating evil spirits.
“Troublesome times!” Xiao Shi pinched his glabella. He felt that the situation in the Seven Star Province was getting more and more complicated.
